"The flowers look lovely my lady." I give Marie a small smile. "Thank you Marie." I started a garden to help with distracting myself from being lonely. Ever since I told them to leave me alone they have done just that. A part of me is angry that they have obeyed me and stayed away instead of disobeying and coming to see how I'm doing. Another part of me is even angrier at myself for ever telling them to stay away. I didn't realize how much I needed them and how much I enjoyed their company. I violently pull a weed from the lily bed and dirt flys everywhere some hitting Lily,who is watering the tulips. She flinches a bit at the onslaught and turns to me. "Are you all right my lady?" I sigh and nod."Yes Lily I am so sorry." Marie smiles. "I never knew you had such a green thumb my lady." I pull another weed out and saddness envelopes me. "Neither did I." "Well we'll what do we have here? Why is a princess down in the dirt with the help?" Just when I thought my life couldn't get more annoying. "Screw you Jace." I say standing up and brushing the dirt from my dress. I walk past him to grab a small shovel to plant the new cherry blossom tree I got. "Woah what is with the hostility? Aren't you supposed to be kind to everyone?" I bend down to my knees and push the shovel through the dirt. "I am. At least to those who deserve it and to those I like." I have to push the shovel into the ground harder to get passed a hard spot. "Why don't you like me? Everyone does." I lurch up and face him pointing the dirty shovel at him accusingly.
"That's exactly why you are way to full of yourself believing that everyone likes you and wants to be your friend just because you have a title of Prince. Which can easily be taken away you rely way to much on it. I can't stand guys like you who think they are better than everyone else because they have power and money. Using it as an excuse to get any girl you want and to get out of mistakes you made.Its selfish." This guy can really get under my skin and I hate that he does.
Jace
My anger rises with each word she says. "Selfish? I'm selfish. Lets clarify what selfish is princess. How about the fact that you refused a marriage that could help your kingdom drastically because you were mad at your parents? How about thinking that just because your a princess you believe your above an arranged marriage. How about sacrificing the needs of your kingdom for what you want? Believe it or not princess I didn't want this marriage either there was a women back home who has my heart. But I had to give that up for the sake of my people. This marriage is important for both sides so stop using your crown as an excuse to hide from your mistakes!" The way her face falls makes me instantly regret what I said. "Pardon my intrusion my lord but that is out of line. We are not on your kingdom with your customs so I would ask that you would respect ours and our princess." The maid with auburn hair spits. I glance at the princess and I mentally swear at myself for the tears she is fighting to hold back.
Ariella
His words strike me hard and I snap. "My mistakes? You think that me watching as both of the only parents I ever knew die because of some enimes of this world who wanted me because I'm important to a world I had no idea existed is my mistake? You think me being thrown into an alien ship and watch as the only world and life ever knew was taken from me in the blink of an eye for my "protection" is my mistake? That being forced into a completely different life were I'm told that I am a princess and the parents I had weren't my biological parents and I'm just supposed to accept that? If any of that is my fault then yeah my mistake." Jaces face pinches in gulit. "I'm sorry I had no idea." I laugh and wipe angrily at my tears. "How could you? You never even asked." The way his face falls tells me that my words hurt. At this point I could care less. "I may not be able to kick you out of my castle but I can kick you out of my garden." "I'm sorry-" "Don't." I say angrily. "Dont pretend to care now that you know my story. You said clearly yourself that you don't. I don't want or need your pity. I just need you to leave." His hands ball at his sides but he makes no remark. He just bows stiffly and says "As you wish Your Highness." Then he turns on his heel and is out of my sight. Once I'm sure he is out of sight and earshot do I let my emotions overwhelm me. My legs are no longer strong enough to support me and I collapse to my knees. My maids make no move to comfort me,as it would do no good. The only people who could comfort me right now are leaving me alone just like I asked them to. And that fact makes the sobs I have been holding back finally release from my throat.
